I just a bunch of these plugs.
Playing with the Schedules, and i n my test of a plug turning on then off after 1 min, to make sure I understood the settings right…it worked fine.
But i want my night light in kitchen to turn on at 4PM and off at 8AM the next day.
I can not get this to work.
I have tried one schedule, with start and end time, with action Plug Turns on.
I have tried separate schedules one for on, one for off.
Plug is not doing anything.
App is the current app from Play store.
How are these plugs controlled? are they set in plug memory or on WYZE server?
Meaning is it independent of the phone with the WYZE app being on or not?
You would use a schedule rule for this. I wrote one that will do what you want there is a screenshot below. This should help.
Perhaps u did not understand…
I have things setup that way…
It does not work…for such long periods of time.
It will work for very shorts of time, like within 1 hour on same AM or PM time of day.
There is several other threads i found that are full of users complaining that this is not working.
I understood you, was hoping this would help you. So you are saying the plug does not stay on for the whole time?
Is the plug in an outlet that is connected to a switch that might have been turned off by accident?
It does not come on at set time, does not go off at set time.
Does nothing.
I have to manually turn it on off. (via the app or GA)
I would open a support ticket with Wyze Tech support. You can do that here. We are just users like you but Support actually works for Wyze.
As an other thread suggested. Loggin out then back into the app and adding the Schedule seemes to have worked. at least the plug did shut off this morning, and did come back on later. so far, so good. hope it stays working.

The one plug i have set scheduled, been working fine each day.
FWIW, I think Europe and maybe most outside North America use 24 hr time. We lived in Norway for a while and it does make sense, my wife still uses it. In general, apps should use the phone settings.
Anyway, I got 2 scheduled. One AM for coffee pot is On for 10 min and it is working ok, well avg run time is 12 min which is acceptable but a 20% variance is not really very good. Pot only takes 8 min and has a low level shutoff for the heating element so it’s not hurting anything. Second is a PM, lamp on On for 5hr 45 min, so it’s off before midnight. This one has had a couple of noticeable glitches - coming on 10 min or so late a couple of times, avg run time is 5 hr 13 min - close to 10% off. So far I’ve only had to manually turn it on once and off once. Again it’s not a critical issue but just strange why a time function is not exact. Even my old digital and mechanical timers were exact and the digital even compensated for DST. Basically these give us the convenience of app access to manually operate or reprogram but the flaky behavior leaves them less useful due to suspect reliability.
